Started 7th cycle (of 12)

This week I began my 7th cycle (of 12) and due to low blood counts combined with a touch of bronchitis, my doctor decided to go ahead with the treatment, less the oxaliplatin.

He seemed to think that a combination of the effects from my flu shot, the cumulative chemo treatments to date and the cough and congestion that I'm having contributed to the lower white blood cell count and lower platelet counts.

One of my other sisters is scheduled for her first colonoscopy today and I'm praying that she gets a good report after the procedure.

Thanks for your comment, Paul, and to all that have expressed their well wishes, positive thoughts and prayers for me. They ARE working and I thank you!
